Topic: Risk Management, Industrial Cybersecurity & Operational Resilience
Apogee Speakers Bureau is proud to highlight M.K. Palmore’s recent participation in the ICS SCADA Symposium, where he joined fellow cybersecurity leaders to discuss the evolving challenges facing critical infrastructure and industrial control system security.
Drawing on leadership experience spanning the FBI, Google, and enterprise cybersecurity, M.K. emphasized a message that is increasingly relevant in today’s threat landscape: organizations must take ownership of cyber risk and embed disciplined risk management practices across the enterprise.
During the discussion, M.K. reinforced a central principle of cybersecurity leadership: “The cavalry is not coming.” Building resilience requires organizations to move beyond reactive security approaches and adopt rigorous risk management frameworks that support informed decision-making and long-term operational preparedness.
